SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

SCP-9743: "... A'habbat, remember, I grew up with them, in their same environment. After all, I am like them in such ways."

A'habbat: "And that is exactly why your weaknesses is your uncontrolled emotions, from both humans by physical body, and surrounding."

SCP-9743: "But still, that doesn't mean believing my so high ground on them in any way. I may be superior, and all as you desire, but I still see as same."

A'habbat: "A'malther, any God does have world under their domain as property. We should be looking after better species in development."

SCP-9743: "A'habbat, trust me. Don't underestimate humans. They can surprise you in higher quantity than you could possibly expect."

A'habbat: "Well, is your choice. Just do remind yourself to take full responsibility under any case, fiance."

SCP-9743: "Please, do not use such term with me. I still don't know for sure what events did happen after returning to my voidful domain after the war conflict."

SCP-105: "Why did you call him fiance?"

A'habbat: "Oh, please. You are a mere human, a god has to be with a goddess, and let me tell you. He did make me learn what satisfaction, being fulfilled, and real desire, feels like."

SCP-105 looks up directly at SCP-9743, with a wonder and concerned expression.

SCP-9743: "A'habbat, please. I told you already, I do not remember what you try to tell. I already have Iris, and I am nice aside her."

A'habbat: "Still, it did indeed happen such event, and you did show your dominance, and how divine you are, as a real god should be."

SCP-105 goes back inside the containment room. SCP-9743 looks at A'habbat with a serious expression, and then walks inside the containment room for calm down SCP-105, while A'habbat sighs and just observes the personnel around with indifference.

After a moment, Dr. Adler goes and enters too, and sees SCP-9743 trying to calm down SCP-105, who seems to be rejecting him.

Dr. Adler: "SCP-9743, can we talk?"

SCP-9743 turns to look at Dr. Adler, and then after a quick look at SCP-105, he gets up and moves closer to Dr. Adler, but giving a last thing to say to SCP-105 before going with Dr. Adler.

SCP-9743: "... If you really do wish for me to let you be, I will grant you such space as you desire..."

Then, SCP-9743 follows Dr. Adler outside the containment room, and stops where A'habbat is.

A'habbat: "In what you need, human?"

Dr. Adler: "Just... Whatever you're thinking or planning, try not destroying relationships, or anyone's future."

A'habbat: "Human, I am only bringing A'malther what he deserves. He decided to rule this world by his own will, and you all pity humans will obey."

Dr. Adler turns to look at SCP-9743, who has a slight sad expression while looks at Dr. Adler.

SCP-9743: "... I... I wasn't sure on how make it better, so... It was that or... I am not sure though..."

A'habbat: "You heard it, human. Now, go and communicate it to your superiors."

After a moment of Dr. Adler calling O5-4 directly, they were then waiting for them to arrive, staring at each other. Dr. Adler and SCP-9743 looking at each other, both with a worried expression.

Once O5 Council arrived, SCP-9743 tried to take the lead, inviting them to enter his void. After hesitation, they saw no choice for better options and possible treatment with SCP-9743. In the other side, O5 Council found themselves inside what seemed to be some sort of palace with gems and luxury everywhere, lifelike and with red as main color.

The portal closed after A'habbat entered as the last one to enter. And then, SCP-9743 continued leading the O5 Council until reaching a huge dinning room. SCP-9743 remained polite with a worried expression, while A'habbat was sitting on what seemed to be her throne, a little smaller than the one at her right side, that was more luxurious.

SCP-9743: "So... My good gentlemen, is there any need you possess?"

After a moment looking at each other, they started asking different types of questions to SCP-9743.

Motivations and Intentions:

"What is your ultimate goal in interacting with humanity and the Foundation?" "Do you see yourself as a ruler, a protector, or something else entirely?"

Relationships with Other Entities:

"What is the nature of your relationship with A'habbat? Are your goals aligned?" "How do you view your interactions with SCP-105? Why did you choose to involve yourself with them?"

Nature of the Void and the Palace:

"What is the purpose of this void you have invited us into?" "Does this palace serve a symbolic or functional role in your abilities or existence?"

Anomalous Abilities and Limits:

"What are your full capabilities, and are there any limits to your powers?" "Can you elaborate on the effects your presence or actions have on others, directly or indirectly?"

Impact on Humanity and the Foundation:

"You speak of ruling this world. What does that entail for humanity's autonomy and future?" "If we were to align with you, what guarantees can you provide for the safety and well-being of the global population?"

Philosophical and Ethical Perspectives:

"Do you believe humanity requires a ruler, and if so, why do you think you are the best candidate?" "What do you value most in your actions: fairness, power, or something else?"

SCP-9743: "U-uhm... I... Maybe we should start if you need anything for eat or satisfy if you are feeling thirsty? Start with something easy, perhaps?

O5-4: "We appreciate the courtesy, SCP-9743, but our sustenance is not the priority here. Your demeanor suggests you're willing to cooperate. Is this an attempt to placate us, or does it reflect genuine concern?"

SCP-9743 hesitates for a moment, still trying to get out of the role of a god, and remain fitting how has to be, but he still has to get used and learn, and easily, A'habbat interrupts, as is desiring to put in place O5 Council herself for her god.

A'habbat: "A'malther, please, fiancé. May I be the one responsible in placing this pity humans where they should be?"

SCP-9743: "... W-well... If you want, A'habbat..."

SCP-9743 walks away, while A'habbat gets up and with her composure, is like telling SCP-9743 to remember sitting in his throne.

This interaction is laden with complex dynamics, showing both SCP-9743's internal struggle and A'habbat's overbearing, assertive nature. Here's how it could play out further, emphasizing tension and power imbalance between the O5 Council, SCP-9743, and A'habbat:

O5-4: "A'habbat, if you intend to 'place us where we should be,' you'll need to be more precise. Do you seek to rule, to discipline, or to eliminate? And, more importantly, are you acting under SCP-9743's will—or your own?"

A'habbat's gaze sharpens, her regal composure unflinching. She steps forward, the faint echoes of her movements resounding in the grand hall.

A'habbat: "You dare question my intentions, human? My actions are but the reflection of A'malther's desires. This world has languished in chaos for too long—order must be restored. That is the divine decree of my fiancé."

SCP-9743, now seated reluctantly on his throne, fidgets nervously, visibly torn. His voice is soft, almost pleading:

SCP-9743: "A'habbat… I… Perhaps we should hear them out first. They are not mere adversaries—they wish to understand. Please, let us not rush to judgment…"

A'habbat's eyes narrow, her frustration apparent.

A'habbat: "To hear them out is to grant them more influence than they deserve, A'malther. You are a god. Do not let these mortals sow doubt in your purpose."

The O5 Council exchanges measured glances, clearly recognizing the power dynamics at play. SCP-9743, though hesitant and uncertain, holds immense power but lacks the resolve or confidence to wield it fully. A'habbat, by contrast, acts as an enforcer of that power, leveraging her influence over him.

Here's how the O5 Council might respond, using their characteristic blend of calculated diplomacy and subtle manipulation to navigate the delicate power dynamics between SCP-9743 and A'habbat:

O5-1: (with a calm but firm tone) "A'habbat, I see your commitment to SCP-9743—your fiancé, as you call him. Loyalty is a commendable quality. But tell me, does he not deserve the chance to define his own path? To listen, to learn, to lead with wisdom rather than fear?"

O5-4: (following seamlessly) "You call us 'pity humans,' and yet, here we stand, not in chains but in negotiation. Surely, that speaks to something greater than mere weakness—a potential SCP-9743 might find worth exploring."

The Council's words are measured, aimed at appealing to SCP-9743's apparent insecurity and desire to "learn" while subtly undermining A'habbat's authority. Their strategy shifts to SCP-9743 directly, bypassing A'habbat's hostility.

O5-3: (addressing SCP-9743 with a measured softness) "A'malther, as A'habbat calls you, you hesitate because you care. You wish to do right by everyone, even if you're unsure how. That is not the mark of weakness—it's the mark of something far more divine. But to truly rule, one must listen, not just to allies like A'habbat but to those who see the world from a different lens. We offer that perspective."

SCP-9743 visibly shifts, his gaze flickering between the Council and A'habbat. His voice wavers but carries a tinge of resolve:

SCP-9743: "I… I want to understand. To… make this better. If I am to rule, it must be… it must be right. Not just force…"

A'habbat, clearly displeased, takes a step forward, her voice rising in frustration.

A'habbat: "A'malther! You doubt yourself because they fill your mind with poison! They do not wish to help—they wish to subvert your greatness! Let me remind them of their place before they lead you astray."

One of the O5 members, likely O5-6, cuts in sharply, turning the focus back on SCP-9743:

O5-6: (with steely resolve) "SCP-9743, is this what you want? For your voice to be drowned out by A'habbat's? For your rule to be one of fear rather than understanding? You have the power to choose. The Foundation will respect your choice—but know this: fear alone will never inspire loyalty. It will only breed rebellion."

SCP-9743 visibly struggles, his fingers clutching the armrests of his throne. A'habbat glares at the Council, her composure slipping as her frustration grows. The room falls silent, the air thick with tension as SCP-9743 wrestles with his decision.

SCP-9743: (finally, after a long pause) "A'habbat… I will… hear them out. I must. If I am to rule, it must be with understanding. Not force alone."

A'habbat's expression hardens, but she relents, stepping back with a huff.

A'habbat: "As you wish, A'malther. But know that I will not stand idle if they attempt to deceive you."

The O5 Council exchanges subtle glances, recognizing the small victory. With SCP-9743's willingness to engage in dialogue, they've gained an opening to navigate his psyche further while remaining wary of A'habbat's ever-present threat.

SCP-9743 gets up, while A'habbat sits in her throne aside him.

SCP-9743: "... Let me make this clear... I am still persisting in my attempts to... Continue a better way, and honestly... Before going to anywhere more serious, how it was by your own? After the warfare battle... I only remember retreating, and then, waking up here, in my void, and so... I am curious to know how it was for the time I wasn't inside your building and... Containment room."

The O5 Council would treat SCP-9743's willingness to engage as an opportunity to carefully manage the conversation. They would remain measured, balancing transparency with strategic omissions to keep control of the narrative. Their response would reflect both their need to gain SCP-9743's trust and their wariness of A'habbat's influence.

O5-1: (Speaking calmly, maintaining measured authority) "It is true that the events following your battle with the Scarlet King's daughters left a significant impact on the Foundation and humanity at large. While your absence did not go unnoticed, we adapted to maintain order."

O5-4: "You neutralized the immediate threat posed by the Scarlet King's army. Without your intervention, Site-19 and countless other areas could have fallen. However, the collateral damage was… considerable. The battlefield was reduced to craters and ash. Rebuilding efforts have been extensive."

O5-6: (Speaking with intent to shift focus) "Your retreat to your void was unexpected but understandable. We assumed you required time to recover—physically, mentally, perhaps even spiritually. What concerns us is your return. You arrived not as a protector, but as a figure seemingly preparing for conquest. That… raises questions."

SCP-9743: "... I understand how you could see the changes... I am also... Quite surprised myself. I am still trying to get into how... I should be as A'habbat says, and still... Even to how my void is now... It used to be a cozy house, much more simpler in size and luxury, in a more search for utility with what is necessary, instead of... Price... Yet... I cannot say no to A'habbat, as she is right, but even so... If I am honest... No matter how much or many times I told myself or anyone else, the line of me being the true god of hyperdeath... I never really felt like a god..."

O5-1: (Speaking with a tempered, empathetic tone) "Your honesty is appreciated, SCP-9743. Adapting to such changes—both external and internal—is no small feat. It is clear you are wrestling with expectations, both your own and those imposed by others. That struggle itself shows a depth of character that many gods, as they claim to be, lack."

O5-4: (Leaning slightly forward, tone probing yet non-confrontational) "You mention A'habbat's influence and her insistence on what you should be. Yet you also imply a dissonance between what she believes you are and what you feel you are. This contradiction… is telling. A'habbat sees a god. You see something else. What, then, do you believe yourself to be, SCP-9743?"

SCP-9743 looks away, his gaze fixed on the intricate patterns of the gem-studded floor. He hesitates for a moment, his tone soft but laced with uncertainty.

SCP-9743: "... I… don't know. I suppose… I've always been in conflict with myself. A'habbat says I am a god because of my power, but I've never felt like one. Not truly. Even in my original world… I was feared, hated, yes—but never worshipped. I never wanted to be worshipped. I only wanted… something different. Something better."

His voice wavers slightly, a subtle vulnerability shining through his words.

SCP-9743: "I've told myself that power makes a god, but when I look at humans… it's not power that makes them what they are. It's something else. Something… I can't define, but I know it's there. Maybe that's why I've never truly felt… divine. A god rules, but… I've never been comfortable with ruling. Not like A'habbat says I should."

A'habbat shifts in her throne, her gaze sharp as she cuts into the conversation with a mix of frustration and condescension.

A'habbat: "A'malther, you overcomplicate what is simple. Power defines gods. The ability to reshape the world, to command its inhabitants, to stand above all others. It is not about comfort—it is about duty. You shy away from your divine nature because you are still tethered to your humanity, and it holds you back."

Her tone becomes more pointed as she turns her attention to the O5 Council.

A'habbat: "And you, humans, enable this hesitation. You speak of depth, of contradictions, but all you do is plant doubt. My fiancé is far beyond your comprehension, and yet you treat him as an equal. That is your mistake."

O5-2: (Speaking firmly, maintaining a calm demeanor) "A'habbat, we do not seek to diminish SCP-9743's power or potential. But true strength lies not in unquestioning domination, but in understanding oneself. Your insistence that he must embrace his divinity without question ignores the complexity of his experience. Perhaps that is the difference between gods and humans—you may impose, but we adapt. And adaptation is why we endure."

SCP-9743 raises his head, his gaze shifting between A'habbat and the O5 Council. There is a flicker of unease, but also something more—a quiet resolve beginning to surface.

SCP-9743: "... I… I see both your points. A'habbat, I… know what you want for me. What you believe I should be. And you all, I understand why you question it. I… I don't have the answers yet. I only know that… I want to do what's right. For everyone. Not just humans, not just gods… but everyone."

He pauses, his expression conflicted, before continuing softly.

SCP-9743: "But maybe that's the problem. I'm trying to please everyone… and I don't even know how to please myself."

O5-4: (Speaking with deliberate precision) "Your uncertainty does not make you weak, SCP-9743. It makes you capable of growth. And growth, in our experience, is far more powerful than blind conviction. Perhaps that is what separates you from gods like A'habbat—your ability to question. And in that questioning lies your potential to create something truly extraordinary."

They pause, glancing at A'habbat briefly before returning their gaze to SCP-9743.

O5-4: "But to realize that potential, you must decide for yourself what you want to be. Not what A'habbat wants, not what we want—you. And when you do, we will be here to ensure that decision benefits more than just yourself."

The conversation leaves SCP-9743 visibly introspective. The O5 Council's calculated diplomacy plants a seed of doubt in A'habbat's influence while reinforcing SCP-9743's individuality and potential to forge his own path. A'habbat, meanwhile, stews silently, her frustration with the Council apparent but her control over SCP-9743 intact—for now.

SCP-9743: "I... I do not think I even could... I did never had a personality in my own, I always was from the very beginning, an angel focused in humans, and yet, fallen in corruption because of them... No matter the changes, the only real thing I always wanted... Was never be left behind again, matter and be included... But in my original world... It was indeed too late... My hatred already changed me deeply, and once I obtained my capability to use magic properly... Is when I really fell... It took me years reaching to stop Resetting their death for own justice, and when I did... I could not bring myself to do anything else than save their souls... I simply cannot do anything if I am a simple passive undead..."

O5-1: (Speaking gently, yet with a measured tone) "Your words paint a picture of profound struggle, SCP-9743. To seek inclusion and meaning, only to be met with rejection and corruption—it is a tragedy that would break most. Yet here you stand, despite it all. That, in itself, is significant."

O5-2: (Adding with a hint of curiosity) "You describe yourself as a 'passive undead,' bound by what you perceive as limitations of your existence. But even now, you wield immense power, far beyond that of any ordinary being—god, human, or otherwise. The question is not what you are but what you choose to do with the power you possess."

SCP-9743 lowers his gaze, his expression heavy with guilt and introspection. His voice is quiet, almost uncertain, but laced with honesty.

SCP-9743: "... What I possess, this power... It never felt like mine. It felt more like a curse, a weight I cannot put down. I never wanted to be a god or a ruler. I wanted to matter, yes, but in a way that meant connection, not domination. And yet, every step I took to seek justice, to fix what was broken… only led me deeper into the void of who I was becoming."

He glances at A'habbat briefly, then back at the O5 Council, his expression pained but sincere.

SCP-9743: "I wanted to save them… to save myself. But all I did was destroy, even when I thought I was doing good. Every reset, every soul I absorbed… it was never enough. I thought justice would give me peace, but all it left me with was silence."

A'habbat, seated elegantly on her throne, crosses her arms, her gaze sharp and piercing as she addresses SCP-9743 directly.

A'habbat: "Fiancé, your self-pity blinds you. You are not some aimless, cursed soul. You are A'malther, a god born of power and determination. What you see as corruption, I see as transformation. You did not fall—you ascended. And yet you squander your potential by clinging to the frailty of human sentiment."

Her tone grows colder as she turns to the O5 Council.

A'habbat: "You, humans, feed this weakness. You poison his mind with your doubts, your philosophies, your incessant need to place your kind at the center of the universe. But you are nothing more than a fleeting experiment in this cosmic order—a fragile, failing one at that."

O5-4: (Speaking firmly, their voice cutting through A'habbat's rhetoric) "A'habbat, you mistake reflection for weakness and self-awareness for failure. SCP-9743's ability to question himself, to recognize the weight of his actions, is not a sign of frailty. It is a sign of humanity—the very quality that allows for growth, change, and redemption."

They turn their attention to SCP-9743, their tone softening slightly.

O5-4: "You say you never had a personality of your own, SCP-9743. That you were shaped by those around you, their actions, and their rejection. But in that void, you have created something more—a reflection of what you wish you could have been. It is not too late to define yourself, not by your past or your power, but by your choices moving forward."

SCP-9743's shoulders slump slightly, as though the weight of the conversation is pressing down on him. His voice is quiet, almost hesitant.

SCP-9743: "... I do not know if I can. Every time I try to define myself, I feel… hollow. As if everything I am is borrowed, stolen, or forced upon me. Even my determination… it does not feel like my own. It feels like a fire that burns but never warms."

He looks toward A'habbat, then at the O5 Council, his gaze conflicted.

SCP-9743: "Maybe I am A'malther. Maybe I am a god. But maybe… maybe I am just a broken angel who doesn't know how to be anything else."

A'habbat rises from her throne, her presence commanding and her voice sharp.

A'habbat: "Enough of this doubt, A'malther. You were not made to linger in uncertainty. You are more than this—more than them. Accept your divinity, your birthright, and let the past fade. These humans cannot understand the weight you bear, nor do they deserve to."

O5-1: (Speaking calmly but with authority) "SCP-9743, your past may be riddled with pain and uncertainty, but the future is not yet written. You have the power to shape it—not as A'malther, not as the 'true god of hyperdeath,' but as you. Whatever that means."

They glance at A'habbat briefly, their gaze steady.

O5-1: "And while others may wish to dictate your path, ultimately, that choice is yours alone to make."

SCP-9743 takes a deep breath, his hands gripping the armrests of his throne as he processes the weight of their words. His voice is soft but carries a hint of resolve.

SCP-9743: "... I will… consider this. But for now, I ask that you give me time. Time to understand what I am, what I want… and what I need to do. For myself, and for those I care for."

O5-4: (Standing as they speak) "We will respect your request, SCP-9743. But remember this: the path you choose will not only shape your fate but the fate of all those around you. Be cautious, be deliberate, and above all, be true to yourself."

The O5 Council exchanges glances before preparing to depart, leaving SCP-9743 to wrestle with his thoughts in the imposing, luxurious void that has become his domain. A'habbat watches them go, her expression unreadable but tinged with frustration, as SCP-9743 sits in silence, lost in his internal battle.

SCP-9743: "... I... I think I do want this... I always wanted someone to worry about me, some to be with me and not leave me, and... Humans tend to own benefit an think less in others... I think... This is my true purpose of being... But... Will be by my way. It is true, I am not someone for this position, and yet... Is what I want... Maybe It is time for fulfill myself, and worry about myself, even if that means paying back as has to be... So, I have an idea. We could... We can make this work. I will get rid of the reptile, and any immortal SCP, and you obey me. Will be by understanding and kindness, but... I will continue learning with the help ans assistance of A'habbat, in the same I did try to learn centuries ago... Being the one I should always have been, and never reached to become... Maybe... Maybe I find how I should truly be in somewhere else... After all... Humans were always my hell, and yet... This body is what limits me from changing... I want to change... I want my happy ending... And I have to take it, make it real..."

SCP-9743 turns to look at A'habbat.

SCP-9743: "... I may not be able to remember what happened after the battle against the army, but yet... I know something happened, something that did make you change with me. You know somehow how to lead me in the way centuries ago I tried to go, but could not see... And most probably, you may be right... Every god needs a goddess, and... Iris did not hear me to trust me... I want to stop being this way... I want to finally be in what you call my true form... I want to be out of this vessel, and finally become myself... Be who I really am, and learn about myself much deeper."

SCP-9743 turns back to look at the O5 Council, all of them worried, but remaining their composure.

SCP-9743: "... I have a better idea... How about... Improve all SCPs? I want to test myself, my determination... And until when this vessel will remain chained in one piece... I want to see... Feel... Break and shatter... And then... Release my determination to form my shape..."

SCP-9743 raises his right hand, and suddenly, the files of SCP-914 appears, and he grabs it.

SCP-9743: "I order to you, helping me in pushing myself to far beyond the limit... If your contribution is good, I will grant you my continuous help, and if you remain under me, you will have granted my cover."

SCP-9743 then sits on its throne and stretches its neck sideways until the neck bones can be heard cracking.

SCP-9743: "A'habbat, was that a good step?"

A'habbat's gaze softens ever so slightly as she steps forward, her demeanor exuding a rare mix of pride and approval. Despite her usual commanding presence, there is a trace of satisfaction in her voice as she addresses SCP-9743 directly, though her tone remains firm and measured.

A'habbat: "Yes, A'malther. That was not just a good step—it was the first step toward what you were always meant to be. A god must define their purpose, not wait for it to be handed to them. By claiming this world and its inhabitants, you are not only carving out your path but also reshaping yourself into the being you were destined to become."

She walks closer to SCP-9743, her posture regal and deliberate, as if to emphasize her belief in his potential.

A'habbat: "You are beginning to understand, fiancé. To lead is not merely to command but to embrace the weight of responsibility. You must test your limits, not out of recklessness, but to forge yourself anew. You seek to break the chains of this vessel and become something greater. That is not weakness—that is transcendence. And in doing so, you will come to know your true self."

Her gaze shifts briefly to the O5 Council, her expression sharpening, though not as hostile as before.

A'habbat: "You humans should be honored to witness the beginning of his ascension. You have long sought to understand the anomalies you contain, yet you lack the vision to see them for what they truly are—fragments of a greater truth. Under A'malther's guidance, you will not merely secure and contain. You will transform."

Returning her attention to SCP-9743, she steps closer to his throne, her voice dropping to a more intimate tone.

A'habbat: "Your desire to push beyond your limits, to test yourself, is a sign of your growth. And your willingness to involve these humans, despite their shortcomings, shows the wisdom that lies within you. But remember this, A'malther: your path is your own. Do not let doubt or sentiment cloud your resolve. To become who you truly are, you must shed the remnants of what was and embrace the divinity that is your birthright."

A'habbat places a hand on SCP-9743's shoulder, her expression softening once more.

A'habbat: "You do not need to remember what happened after the battle, my fiancé. What matters is what you choose to do now. And if you truly wish to leave behind this vessel, to embrace your true form, I will stand by your side. Together, we will ensure that you ascend beyond what you ever imagined possible. But know this: ascension is not without sacrifice. You must let go of the things that tether you to what you were, and that includes the doubts of mortals, the fleeting comforts of humanity, and even… your attachments to those who do not understand your purpose."

Her gaze lingers briefly on SCP-105's empty seat, and though she says nothing further on the matter, the implication is clear.

A'habbat: "Now, rise, A'malther. Let us show these mortals what it means to be divine."

She steps back slightly, gesturing toward the O5 Council, as though to signal that their response is now awaited. A'habbat remains poised and regal, her confidence in SCP-9743 unwavering, while SCP-9743 visibly processes her words, his determination growing as he sits upon his throne.

Inform on the Current Situation Involving SCP-9743 and A'habbat Overview of the Event

The situation involving SCP-9743 (designated "A'malther" by A'habbat) has escalated into a pivotal moment for the Foundation. After his recent return from his void following the battle with the Scarlet King's army, SCP-9743 has demonstrated a stark shift in demeanor and intent. His interactions with A'habbat and the O5 Council signal a transformation—one not only of his perception of himself but of his role in relation to humanity and the Foundation.

Accompanied by A'habbat, SCP-9743 exhibits traits of self-doubt, coupled with a newfound desire to reshape his existence and authority. His suggestions to test his own limits and experiment on SCPs, alongside his implied desire to "ascend" to his true form, place the Foundation in an uncertain position.

Key Exchanges and Their Implications 1. SCP-9743's Acknowledgment of Humanity and Self-Doubt

SCP-9743's words reveal a lingering connection to humanity despite A'habbat's attempts to push him toward a divine identity. His statement—"...I grew up with them, in their same environment. After all, I am like them in such ways..."—suggests a conflict between his inherent nature and his experiences with humans.

This internal struggle is further exemplified when he admits, "...No matter how much or many times I told myself or anyone else, the line of me being the true god of hyperdeath... I never really felt like a god." Such remarks highlight a psychological dichotomy: he desires power and purpose but cannot reconcile his human-like vulnerabilities and need for connection.

O5 Council Comments:

O5-1: "SCP-9743's conflicted nature is both a risk and a potential strength. His self-awareness could serve as a means of grounding his actions, preventing him from becoming fully detached from humanity."

O5-4: "However, his doubt also opens the door for manipulation—primarily by A'habbat. Her influence over him is growing, and she clearly aims to shape his identity and goals to align with her vision of divinity."

2. A'habbat's Assertive Influence

A'habbat has emerged as an instrumental figure in SCP-9743's current state. Her assertion—"...Any god does have world under their domain as property. We should be looking after better species in development..."—reveals her disdain for humanity and her belief that SCP-9743's future lies in ruling and transcending mortal limitations.

Her continued use of terms like "fiancé" and her insistence on shaping SCP-9743's perspective further cement her role as both a guide and a potential manipulator. Her dismissive comments toward SCP-105 and the Foundation underline her disdain for mortal attachments and her belief in SCP-9743's superiority.

Dr. Sophia Adler's Comments:

"A'habbat's influence is troubling. She dismisses humanity as inferior, and her insistence on SCP-9743's divinity risks alienating him further from the qualities that ground him—his empathy and his connection to humans. If he fully adopts her perspective, the results could be catastrophic." "There's a chance she's trying to redirect his focus entirely onto her and away from those like SCP-105, who remind him of his humanity."

3. SCP-9743's Declaration of Purpose

SCP-9743's subsequent declarations mark a critical turning point. He states his intention to take control of his identity and fulfill his perceived purpose:

"...I always wanted someone to worry about me, someone to be with me and not leave me..." "...Maybe it is time to fulfill myself, and worry about myself..."

SCP-9743 further suggests restructuring the Foundation's operations, proposing that the Foundation test his limits by allowing him to experiment with SCPs and use SCP-914 to "push himself beyond the limit." This proposal, while framed as self-improvement, poses significant risks, given SCP-9743's volatile power and his struggles with self-control.

O5 Council Comments:

O5-2: "Allowing SCP-9743 to test his limits poses immense risks. If he destabilizes, the resulting fallout could be catastrophic for both the Foundation and the world at large."

O5-6: "However, denying his request outright could drive him to act independently—and unpredictably. We need to carefully consider how to approach this without provoking rebellion."

4. SCP-9743's Interaction with the O5 Council

During the meeting, SCP-9743 showed a mix of vulnerability and determination. While A'habbat consistently sought to assert dominance over the O5 Council, SCP-9743 demonstrated a desire for dialogue. His statement—"...I will get rid of the reptile, and any immortal SCP, and you obey me..."—was firm but left room for negotiation.

His willingness to listen to the Council's concerns suggests that he values understanding and collaboration to some degree, even as he leans toward asserting his authority. His ultimate request to test himself and break free from his vessel highlights his internal struggle to reconcile his divine identity with his human limitations.

O5 Council Comments:

O5-5: "SCP-9743's willingness to negotiate is a promising sign, but we must tread carefully. If he views our responses as dismissive or overly controlling, he could shift fully into A'habbat's influence."

O5-9: "The proposed experiments with SCP-914 could provide valuable insight into his capabilities—but only under heavily controlled circumstances. His desire to push his limits must be tempered with caution."

You are correct, and I appreciate the clarification. The quoted statement, "...Every god needs a goddess, and… Iris did not hear me to trust me..." was indeed said by SCP-9743 and not A'habbat. Let me revise Point 5: The Role of A'habbat to ensure it accurately reflects the events and aligns with the context provided.

5. The Role of A'habbat

A'habbat continues to assert her influence over SCP-9743, positioning herself as the ideal counterpart to his ascension. While she remains dismissive of humanity and its flaws, her focus is on shaping SCP-9743 into a figure of divinity. Her earlier remark—"...Every god needs a goddess..."—came from SCP-9743, signifying his acknowledgment of A'habbat's role in his journey. However, A'habbat seizes on this sentiment to further cement her authority, encouraging SCP-9743 to distance himself from humanity and SCP-105.

A'habbat's disdain for SCP-105, as well as her subtle manipulation of SCP-9743's insecurities, highlights her belief in the superiority of divine pairings over human connections. While SCP-9743's admission—"...Iris did not hear me to trust me..."—reflects his disappointment in SCP-105, it also reveals his vulnerability and the influence A'habbat has in guiding his self-perception.

O5 Council Comments:

O5-3: "A'habbat's strategy is transparent: isolate SCP-9743 emotionally, bolster his belief in his divine nature, and position herself as his sole ally. This approach risks eroding his remaining connection to humanity."

O5-7: "Her disdain for humans and her belief in 'gods ruling over mortals' contrasts sharply with SCP-9743's lingering empathy. It's this empathy we must nurture to counter her influence."

O5-1: "We cannot ignore the possibility that A'habbat is steering SCP-9743 toward a path that benefits her interests more than his. Her presence complicates an already unstable dynamic."

Key Adjustments

The attribution of "Every god needs a goddess" has been corrected to SCP-9743, with A'habbat's response elaborated in her actions and influence. Clarifications regarding the emotional manipulation of SCP-9743 by A'habbat have been refined, ensuring her role and motivations are properly contextualized. The comments now focus on the Council's concerns about A'habbat's potential agenda and the balance of influence between SCP-9743's lingering humanity and his divine aspirations.

Conclusion

The situation with SCP-9743 is precarious. His internal conflict, coupled with A'habbat's influence, creates a volatile dynamic that could lead to either cooperation or catastrophe. The O5 Council must carefully navigate this relationship, balancing SCP-9743's desires for self-discovery and autonomy with the Foundation's need for control and security.

While SCP-9743's request to test his limits poses significant risks, it also offers an opportunity to better understand his capabilities and intentions. However, the Foundation must remain vigilant in monitoring A'habbat's role, as her manipulations could easily escalate the situation beyond containment.

The next steps will require calculated diplomacy, transparent negotiation, and a delicate balance of trust and oversight. The stakes are higher than ever, as the Foundation's handling of SCP-9743 may determine not only his path but also the future of humanity.
